WeII-ventilated Stables.

As rule, in building stables, too lit
tie attention is given to securing light
and ventilation, two mostimportantai aids
in keeping stock healthy. 1t is strange
that when these can be had so easily.
barns are so often very defective and
unhealthy for lack of them. Animals
should have light, comfortable quar-
ters, not only because it is more pleas
ant and easier to care for them in such
barns, but because they give better re-
turns for the food consumed in such
healthy quarters. Plenty of sunlight
for farm stock is as desirable and BEN
fetal as it is for the family in tho house
of the owner In planning for now
buildings this point should not be over
looked-National Live- Stock Journal.

IL liked to have died, and il had an
awful hemorrhagc; but II is all right
now, and so VIC arc going TO celebrate
IL rs usual.
But l remember that about twenty
three years ago wo didn't celebrate It
with much hilarity. In fact we wero
not at home for company. and not very
much Mt homo mt all, and didn't have
timo to celebrate any thing, for the
foul invader was afterus, and VIC were
making tracks, and the tracks were
wide apart Mo and my numerous
and lovely wife and offspring were
flying in haste over dirt road in
onc-horso rockaway and two-mule
wagon, and It looked like we were
trying to get round the foul invaders
to head EN- Off and drive 'em back,
but we wasn't. An old-fashioned dirt
road is the best sort for runagce, for
it forks every few miles, and you can
take any fork you please and dodge
around and hide out, but when you
are on railroad you can't. We never
stopped for the Fourth of July or
any thing else, but kept driving before
and looking behind until we got dis
tance between us, and distance is
good thing on such occasions. We
Travelled by day and right smart at
night, and finally felt safe enough and
tired enough to take the cars for At
lanta and send our teams to n place of
safety. The train was crowded with
runagecs, and found but one vacant
place after had located my numerous
and interesting family. A luxurious
lady, with some aggravating curls, was
occupying nearly all of seat, spread
ing herself like a setting hen all over
the velvet cushion.
Madam" said /, "can l share this
seat with you?" She saw that | was
pretty good looking and said: Certain
ly, SIR" and she closed in her skirts
some several inches.
In short space of time she became
affected with drowincss and her ala
baster neck became as timber as n
greasy rag. Leaning on my shoulder
she seemed wonderfully afrcctionate rs
hor head kept bobbing around. and l |
felt very peculiar at such times rs the |
curving road would cause her to sub
side onto my palpitating bosom. Her
aggravating curls were getting tangled |
up with my whiskers when about this |
critical juncture L vcnturcd to turn my |
astorished gaze towards Mrs. Arp,
and seeing that she was waiting for
some remark l whispcred: Hadn't
| better remove my seat-do you think
that l can endure the like of this?"
81 do not, William" said she. "You
had better stand up awhile and when
you get tired some of the children will
relieve you"
The glance of her eye and the tone
IF hsr voice caused me to assume
attitude and the curly
lead was left without prop. A mans
wife is the best judge of such peculiar
hings, and as for me am always gov
,rned by it.
About the time we arrived in At
anita the foul invader had crossed the
liver on his pontoons and the next day
'egan his attack. We thought that

citadel of hope, but there is nothing

shipped my family further on and
pulled off my coat and rolled up my
sleeves and swore that this thing had
gone far enough. In the language of
Patrick Henry exclaimed: "Sir, we
must fight! l repeat it, sir, we must
fight! How dare old Tecumsch to
cross that river. 1t is our river and
our land and our State. repeat it,
gentlemen, we must tightm and
popped my fist in the palm of my
hand. About that time the first big
shells commenced scattering their un-
feeling contents among the suburbs,
and rolled down my sleeves and put
on my coat again. Then came the big
panics; then shricked the man-eater;
then howled the wild hyena among the
hills of Babylon. All sorts of people
seemed moving in all sorts of ways
with accelerated motion. They gained
on their shadows as they run, and their
legs grew longer at every step. "How
many miles to Millwrightp" said L
But no response came, for their legs
were as long rs light, and every burst
ing shell was an old witch on the road.
Cars were the all in all. Depots were
the center of space. The passenger
depot was thronged with anxious seek
ers for transportation. Won't you
let these boxes go as baggageP' mo,
madam, it is impossible. Just then
family trunk as big as a bureau was
move in and the poor woman got
desperate. "All I've got amt as
heavy as that" she said, "and I'm n
poor widow and my husband was
killed in the army" We took up her
boxes and showed them in in spite of
the baggageman.
Everywhere was hurrying to and
fro at n lively tune. whats to-day,

j went into doctors shop and found
my friend packing up his vials and
medicine. An old skeleton with but
one leg was swinging from the top of
a long box in the corner, looking like
a mournful emblem Of the troubled
city.

stand guardP" said /. ~ suppose

Whence all had fed but him."
"That's me-" said one. "It's mo
exactly" said another. II am Caba-
sianker myself-dog my cat if l don't
be the last one to leave this ship" An
other shell sized and bursted few
yards off. "Boys, lets take ono more
drink and leave the dogoned town

here's to. "The last of the Mohicans," :"
said l. That's it, said he, here's to
the-mast of the Lohicans."
BY and by the shells fell thick and
fast and caused more speedy locomo-
tion in the excited throng that hurried
by the door, but my friends inside had
passed the Rubicon and one by one re-
tired to dream of Bozzaris and his
Suliote band. Vacant rooms and long
corridors echoed with their snores and
they appeared like sleeping heroes in
the halls of the Montezumas.
Panics are catching-the is no mis-
take about it 1t is not one man in a
thousand who can resist them and re-
tain his philosophy and be calm and
serene. Napoleon said that all men
were towards by night. Some are
towards by day, both in mind and
body. And some who are towards in
body are sustained in mind and will
power and dare to be brave. General
Dick Taylor, who never falterei, says
of himself that he never went into bat
tie but what his cowardly frame trem-
bled and quaked from head to foot.
just before n battle he would look at
his shaking knees with contempt and
say: you cowardly scamps, what are
you shaking now for, why don't you
wait until you are in dangerP" He
says that, if he had given them the
slightest encouragement, his legs
would have run away with his body
every time.
But panics are worse than battle;
more demoralizing. l have seen the
shaking Quakers going through their
pious motions and peculiar attitudes.
l have curiously watched and waited
for the first shake of the spiritual leg
Then another and another would catch
the delicious tremblings until the en-
tire assembly were shuffling their ex-
tremities in hysteric beauty. Just so
the leg panics seemed to inspire the
good people of Atlanta. The first
good shake that occurred on Peach Tree
was n foul contagion that soon spread
its awful trembles from the barracks
to the Fair grounds, sweeping in its all
gathering course the excited popula-
ton who peopled its busy streets. All
day and all night long the iron horses
were snorting to the echoing breeze.
Train after train of goods and chattels
moved down the roads, there was no
method in their madness. All kinds
Of plunder were tumbled in promiscu-
ously. A huge parlor mirror was set
up at the end of car and rejected an
assortment of pots and kettles and bar
rcls and baskets and bacon and bed
'teads, all piled up together. Govern
nent officials all have friends, and of
'ourse they had the preference. Any
clever man, with charming wife or
pretty sister, could secure corner in
more cars than one, and will men,
ion that 1 have found good deal of
,ivility on this account myself. In
Iced, have always thought that no
nan is excusable, who has not got
